My laptop just randomly decided to stop booting. I bought it used, but it has been working great until today. I bring it with me to and from work. When I left for work, I shut it down like normal and packed it up. When I got here, I turned it on. The keyboard lit up like normal, but nothing showed up on the screen. It was completely black. It didn't boot to the Acer logo or Windows.
I have removed memory and even swapped memory slots. I have disconnected and removed the battery AND the CMOS battery, clearing the capacitors with the power button afterwards.
I even took off the heatsinks to see if there were signs of damage anywhere on the motherboard. I saw no signs of damage to the board.
I really can't afford a new laptop right now or a costly repair. So I'm hoping there's something I just neglected to do that might address the issue. Have I neglected to do anything else that might address the problem?
